By this week's mail the New Zealand Shipping Company received a plan of the berthing accommodation on the company's new twinscrew liner Kuahine. The plan shows that on the boat deck are the first and second-class smokerooms and the first-class social room. On the promenade deck are the ttrst and second saloon lchinges and six three-berth first saloon cabins. The shelter deck contains the flr.it and second class dining saloons, also the fi'-st saloon cabins (two and three-berth). Second saloon cabins are situated on the upper deck. A feature of the passenger accommodation is the extensive provision made for two-berth cabins in the second saloon— a provision which will doubtless be much appreciated by a large number of passengers. The new, liner is timed to sail from Wellington for London on the 10th February nest—one of the busiest times of the passenger season: The plan referred to may be inspected by intending passengers. UMTA AND APARIMA.
